Godsend Field

Chapter 440 News
Everything is revived in spring, full of vitality in summer, fruitful in autumn, and dusty in winter!
This is the remarkable scenery of the four seasons. Even in the middle of the Spanish Empire and the French Empire, although the changes in the four seasons are not great, there will always be some traces.However, there is indeed a place on the mainland where there is almost no alternation of seasons, and that is the forest of mother trees in the infinite forest in the south!
It is on the top of a mountain, but surrounded by mountains.Although the altitude is high here, it is sheltered from wind and rain because of the dense forest. Even if the sun above the head is scorching or the wind is cold, it will become warm and suitable under the trees.And the people who live here are the elves.Staying in the vast and boundless infinite forest is like another different space, I don't know what season is outside!
Tianci sat quietly under the Mother Earth tree, meditating according to the method Feiran taught, with one hand on the trunk.With the help of the mother tree, God-sent meditation can get twice the result with half the effort!
However, when Tianci was immersed in meditation, the years would not stop because of it!

"Duke Meister, how are you preparing for the military expenses mentioned last time?" Nero asked indifferently.Today's Nero is not the moment when he came to the throne, he has been an emperor for almost two years, and there is no part of his body that does not reveal his domineering!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but I'm still a little short!" Duke Meister walked out. Compared with the fat and blissful appearance of the past, the Duke Meister is really slim now!
"Nearly? How much!"

"It's still short... 300 million purple gold coins!" Mesto replied in a low voice, and cautiously raised his head to look at Nero on the throne.

"300 million..." Nero frowned, his face darkened, "How could there be such a difference?"

"Your Majesty, the amnesty is still going on this year, and the tax revenue has already been halved. Moreover, His Majesty is going to build a palace in Nanting Mountain, so... so the finances are tight!" Duke Meister said cautiously.

"Finance is tight and you need to do a lot of civil engineering to build a palace?"

"Or use the military budget to repair it?"

"How can this be?"

Hundreds of officials in the main hall discussed it one after another.

"Cough, cough!" Nero coughed, and the place immediately fell silent.

"300 million! 300 million!" Nero rested his chin on his left hand, repeated to himself, lowered his eyes and looked at Duke Meister, "Is three days enough for you?"

three days. . .Duke Meister swallowed hard, three days, three days, it's better than no time!

"Wei Chen will try his best to handle it well!"

Seeing Duke Meister's embarrassment, Sephiroth stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it has been two years since His Majesty ascended the throne. As for the period of amnesty, whether we can raise the original tax burden has solved the urgent need." Woolen cloth?"

"Saphiroth, as a minister of state affairs, you should take the stability of the people in the world and the long-term interests of the royal family as your own responsibility, not personal relationships! The period of amnesty has only expired, and it is natural to restore normal taxes. There will be complaints. But if the tax burden is increased, the people will definitely think that I am settling accounts after the autumn, and the amnesty is just a trick of the day and night. At that time, what will the people of the empire think of me?" Nero sternly said .

"My humble servant is stupid! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your enlightenment!" Saphiroth bowed his head and retreated.

"The Duke of Mesto is in charge of the financial department of the empire, and he is also in charge of the business alliance formed by [-]% of the chamber of commerce in the empire. Let the Duke of Mesto handle the financial matters. If any of you think you can handle it better than the Duke of Mesto If you are better, you can tell me, and I will give him a chance!" Nero looked at the officials who were disputing.

Even the Duke of Meister can't deal with the financial problem. Who else in the empire can handle it better than the Duke of Meister?

"Is there anything else that needs to be reported?" Nero asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce!" At this moment, General Akas stepped forward.

"you say!"

"Last night, I received a definite secret report that Miss Qin'er and Miss Li'er had appeared in Guanghui Town a few days ago!" Arcas clasped his hands.

"What?" Nero slapped the handle of the faucet and stood up.

"Wow!" The whole hall was suddenly commotion, and all the officials immediately became commotion, whispering in twos and threes, I don't know whether it was excitement or excitement!Duke Meister let out a long sigh of relief!

Nero walked down quickly and stood in front of Arcas, staring at him, "Is what you said true? Did Lier and Qiner really appear in Guanghui Town?"

"It's absolutely true! The people sent by our military department saw with their own eyes that they were Qin'er and Ms. Li'er, and once confirmed, they immediately sent back the news as quickly as possible!" Akas replied truthfully.

"Hahaha!" Nero laughed happily, tossed his royal robe, turned around and walked back to the high throne, and sat down comfortably. Where did you go, my parents and I are in a hurry! Arcas, you send someone to Guanghui Town as quickly as possible, and ask brother to come back immediately! Also, ask Gauss to lead Jinjuwei to protect it!"

Jin Juwei has made great progress through recruitment in the past two years, and can be called the personal guard of Nile and the royal family!

All the officials nodded one after another. Since the last time the Duke was on behalf of the empire to go to the Guangming Cult, he will go to the three major empires one after another.It had been half a year since the Gran Empire disappeared inexplicably, but fortunately, the blood-eyed sage informed the Duke of his movements and did not cause any panic.But this time, the Duke disappeared completely. No one knew what he was going to do there, and no one knew whether he was safe now.

Completely disappeared, just disappeared completely on the mainland!
His Excellency the Duke has been in the limelight over the years, and he has offended many forces and figures for the empire, among which the Spanish Empire is the most serious. From inside to outside, everyone hates Tianci to the bone!So upon hearing the news of the Duke's disappearance, a thought popped into everyone's mind at the same time. . .Worry. . .frightened. . .

Ever since Nolan Shangsi sent back the emergency report, the empire has been in shock. Even the usually stable Nero was a little at a loss, and ordered Arcas to send a large number of manpower to search all over the mainland.After Madam Zhen and An Rui found out, they were anxious like ants on a hot pot all day long, and even went to the mercenary union to spend a lot of money to issue a seventh-level tracing mission.It can be regarded as a rare record to be able to reach level seven in the task of finding people!
"Great, great!" Nero said again and again.

"Report to Your Majesty!" Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Akas walked up again with a gloomy expression on his face, "Your Majesty, in the news I received, only Qin'er and Miss Lier were mentioned, and there was no Duke." news!"

Nero's smiling face froze, then darkened, "Say it again!"

"Weichen received the news that Miss Qin'er and Miss Li'er appeared in Guanghui Town, but the Duke Tianci did not show up! As far as we know, we still haven't found the Duke!" Akas lowered his head in disbelief. Dare to look at Nero's almost murderous eyes!

"Are you saying that my brother is not with Qin'er Lier?" Nero's eyes were almost on fire, and he suddenly held his breath in his chest, and slammed his palm on the armrest, snap! "Bastard! What do your people eat? It's been so long that you can't even find anyone. Li'er and Qin'er have been found, don't they want to ask, ask, do you know, ask! Do you want me to teach you this, or do you want me to find it myself?"

The whole hall was suddenly quiet, and even the breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly!

"Plop!" Akas knelt down on both knees, "Your Majesty, calm down, your Majesty, the people we sent out have already asked, but the two ladies didn't say anything, and there are too many people talking, and the dragons and snakes are confused..."

"Calm down? How do you tell me to calm down!" Nero stood up angrily, "Everyone knows that my brother and Qin'er Lier are inseparable. If there were no major events or major dangers, my brother would never be separated from them." Now that Li'er and Qin'er have appeared, my brother has gone missing, what do you make me think!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! The duke is blessed by heaven, I believe nothing will happen!" Sephiroth and Duke Mesto stood up and knelt down side by side with Akas.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" All the officials also knelt down on the spot!

Looking at the officials kneeling down in unison below, Nero breathed rapidly, and the sullenness in his heart dissipated a little.The calmness and composure of the past have been restored, "Get up, everyone! Akas, if you send someone to search quickly, Qin'er and Lier should also protect them, and see if they can find any clues. I don't care what methods you use. Anyway, I want my brother to come back safely!"

"Yes!" Arcas took the order.

"Saphiroth, you go and send someone to tell the whole continent. If anyone dares to touch my brother's idea, even if it is His Majesty the Pope, I will demand blood from him. I want him to exterminate the family, the country, and the religion!" Luo said angrily.

All officials were shocked!

"Yes!" Saphiroth took the order. Although His Majesty said so, his order still needs to be revised before it can be issued.In any case, the influence of the Illuminati in the Welsh Empire is no small matter!
Exiting the hall in fear, all the officials heaved a long sigh of relief!

"Oh, Your Majesty is so angry, this is the first time I've seen it!" Engineering Secretary Bo Keqi shook his head. Ever since Nero entered the capital at the age of 12 to study government affairs with Duke Kate, the ministers of the Ministry of Government Affairs have regarded Nero as the future. They are as concerned and attentive as the ministers, and they know Nero better than other officials.

"Who says no, I didn't even dare to breathe hard just now! My heart almost stopped! It would be great if the Duke of Heaven was here, after all, they are brothers!" Shang Si from the Department of Officials and the Department of Criminal Law said in unison, shaking his head and walking quickly leave.

On the white jade bridge, the Duke of Mesto, Saphiroth, and Akas came out last, and all the officials on the long jade bridge had finished walking!
"Duke Meister, there's nothing I can do this time!" Sephiroth patted Duke Meister on the shoulder.

Duke Meister shook his head and smiled wryly, "Actually, when His Majesty asked me to discuss the construction of the Nanting Mountain Palace Complex, I knew that there would be today's hard work. No way, who let me take charge of the empire's finances? If you think of a way, you will definitely be able to get it!"

"Three million purple gold coins is not a small sum!" Saphiroth sighed.

"I also know. Fortunately, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has joined our business alliance, otherwise I would not be able to survive the last time! It seems that I am going to visit the Sino-Australian Casino this time!" Duke Meister felt a little aggrieved." A dignified minister of finance, every day he either thinks about how to earn purple gold coins, or where to borrow purple gold coins... I am also the first one since ancient times!"

"Duke Meister, don't worry, this year's taxes will return to normal, at least you don't have to think about borrowing money in the future!" Arcas comforted.

"This year? I'm afraid this year will be even more bitter!" Duke Meister shook his head, "Your Majesty has already told me that he is going to reunite the old Duke Kate and the Kate family in the southern province near the Donglan Valley. Build a mausoleum, and build an Ende City next to it, to thank the old duke for his cultivation and love for His Majesty!"

Safeiros and Arcas nodded at the same time. The old Duke of Kate did his best to cultivate Nero, and he was unreservedly thinking about his grandson, and His Majesty's feelings for the old Duke even surpassed Mrs. Jane's "drinking water and thinking of the source, sheep kneeling Breast milk, this is also human nature! It’s just a mausoleum and a city, you don’t have to suffer like this!”

"You don't know!" Duke Meister shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart. His Majesty's budget for the city and the mausoleum may even dwarf the budget for the Nanting Mountain palace complex!

After walking across the white jade stone bridge, they soon came to the gate of the palace. The three of them were about to bid farewell to each other and go about their own affairs.

"Wait a minute, you two! I still have a difficult matter to discuss with you!" Akas stopped the two ministers, "I originally wanted to let His Majesty make a decision today, but yesterday I received a request from Duke Tianci After the news of your lord, I hurriedly played it today, it doesn't seem to arouse His Majesty's wrath, so I dare not mention this matter!"

"What's the matter!" asked the two ministers.

"A few days ago, the old marshal Lankers sent me a letter. He knew that he had committed a serious crime, and he also knew that the late king spared his life because of his love that day. After returning to the fief, the old marshal He regretted everything he did to His Majesty with tears every day. But the former king has passed away, and the condemnation of his conscience is still lingering. So he wants to be able to contribute to the empire again, even if he is a pawn!" Aka Si sighed heavily, feeling sore and uncomfortable in his heart.

The majestic old marshal of more than 60 years actually asked for his order to be a pawn. . .

The Duke of Meister had worked with the old Marshal for a long time, so he couldn't bear it.

"My lords, what do you think about this matter?" Akas was a little embarrassed. It was the decision of the previous king to imprison the old marshal, but he couldn't bear to see the old marshal's request.

Safeiros: "Although I haven't been in contact with the old marshal for a long time, I can feel that he is the kind of person who would rather spill blood on the battlefield than be imprisoned for death. Imprisoning him in this way is undoubtedly worse than death. Arcas, the old marshal treated you very well that day, what are you going to do?"

"Me? I don't know!" Arcas sighed with conflicts in his heart. On the one hand, he was grateful to the old marshal for his cultivation and gave him the opportunity to make contributions. On the other hand, he also hated the old marshal's disloyalty to the late king, and hated him for forcing the palace by force. .

"Let me say something fair! Although what the old marshal did was hateful, it was considered for the sake of the empire. The third prince is really narrow-minded and not suitable to be an emperor. In that special period, the old marshal was guilty of crimes, but his heart was still good." Loyalty. Now that the new king is enthroned and the empire is stable, the old marshal won’t have any more thoughts, and I personally think the old marshal’s request is not too much!”

"Having said that, how should I deal with it?" Arcas asked.

Safeiros thought for a while, "I have a suggestion, I don't know if it is feasible. Wasn't William sent to the northwest province to train recruits? Why don't we propose that the old marshal also go to the northwest, so that both grandparents and grandchildren can go to the northwest?" Together, the old marshal can also help William train new recruits. As long as the old marshal does not come into contact with veterans and generals, he will not pose any threat to His Majesty. With His Majesty's mind and courage, it is not difficult to agree!"

Both Arcas and Duke Meister nodded, Sephiroth is indeed resourceful!
"But now I think of another problem! A problem that we have all ignored!" Safeiros seemed to think of something, "Do you think that the two days when the late king was in Tanglin was a little... old and missed what?"

Arcas was not at the scene that day, and Duke Meister shook his head, "It's not like, although the late king had just woken up at the time, but after taking the back light scattered, his spirit and thinking were much better than before, and the things he did that day were also much better. Everything is within His Majesty's expectations, and there is nothing missing!"

"What about the old marshal's treatment?"

"The former king thought that he had saved the old marshal before, and he spared his life after years of hard work!"

Safeiros nodded and shook his head again, "The eldest prince has been a prince for ten years and has fought countless wars. Isn't it hard work? Why should he be executed? It is understandable. But plotting against the palace is a major crime that the Manchus will never forgive lightly. Even the most meritorious people can only be spared in the form of imprisonment or exile for crimes. It is impossible for the ancient kings to know this. But the former king did not convict the old marshal, and even continued to let William stay in the military. I thought it was to stabilize the military, but now that I think about it, Arcas, you, Lord Saint, and the Duke of Heaven are all here. In addition, the governors of various places, even if the old marshal is convicted and imprisoned, there will be no major disturbances in the military. William's relegation and punishment by His Majesty is the best proof! The wiseness of the former king would not have been unexpected, but Why would His Majesty do this again?"

Arcas and Duke Meister were also stunned, but they had never thought of these things. "Saphiroth, do you think the late king might have any deep meaning?"

"I'm not the former king, how could I understand what he meant? I just thought of it suddenly when Akas mentioned it, and then I guessed it. I think the former king intended to keep the old marshal?"

"Leave the old marshal? The old marshal has committed such a serious crime. Even if he is not convicted, it is impossible to regain control of the army. Apart from being able to fight now, I can't think of what else is left of the old marshal?"

"War..." The three important ministers of the empire were stunned at the same time, their faces stiffened!
fight!Did the former king keep him because he knew how to fight?
